dovecot - Dec 2007 - 1.1.Beta9 deliver problem: Unknown mail storage driver raw

Hello,

I'm new to dovecot, trying to configure a Postfix/Dovecot system.
Got everything in place - smtp with dovecot SASL and imap working fine, 
maildir is created, thunderbird logs in successfuly .. but the Dovecot 
LDA gives me this error on delivery: "Couldn't create internal raw 
storage: Unknown mail storage driver raw".
I tried searching the configuration manual, reference, google and this 
list's archives, but found no clue. Checked the source, but it will take 
me some time to figure out what is a storage driver and where is the 
"raw" one hiding, so if somebody could help, please ..

I did it with userdb static initially - uid=dovecot_mail, 
gid=dovecot_mail, home=/usr/local/storage/mail/%d/%n
but after reading, that some passdbs don't work with deliver&static, I 
moved everything to the db (found out that prefetch isn't working with 
deliver btw - moans about userdb_ entries not present, while the imap 
finds them and works happily). It didn't help.

Hi Velko,

I recently hit the same problem.
You have to add raw storage driver to your compile options, meaning
"--with-storages=maildir,mbox,dbox,raw,cydir", that will do the trick.

Maybe it would be good to update the description of available storage drivers in
configure script.

Regards,
Sebastian
